A Clock Face and 2 Gourds

Happy Humpday, everyone! A couple of days ago I found these gorgeous dried gourds at an antique shop. I adore the patina on them...at first glance I thought they had a chippy painted surface, but that's just Mother Nature's fine work!

I decided to 'showcase' them on a large clock face that I just got on my trip to Columbus (which you can read about here.) The gourds themselves are pretty big, too!

I placed a vintage scale next to them...I like how the scale face echos the clock face.

On top of the scale I placed a rusty bucket (with my favorite number 3 added) filled with dried hydrangeas.

All of this is in front of my extra-large Polish flashcard...

...on top of my favorite little cabinet in the living room (which you can read about here)...

I love those old gourds you found! The blotchy colors and cute stems are the best part. Love the whole vignette you created. I don't think shiny pumpkins would look as good with all of that patina going on!
